Reviews of Riad Sesame

Sarah
The location of this riad was absolutely mind-blowing! It was right in the heart of the bustling medina, with shops, restaurants, and a supermarket just steps away. We loved being so close to the main square and the mosque. The room and bathroom were super clean, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. The manager was so caring and helpful, even organizing a doctor for me when I fell sick. The breakfast included was beyond our expectations, and the whole riad was meticulously maintained. We would definitely recommend this riad to anyone visiting!

Moroccan dishes are prepared upon request, and let me tell you, they were like a symphony of flavors bursting in my mouth. Each dish was meticulously created with fresh ingredients from the local market, bringing out the vibrant colors and fragrant aromas. It was like Picasso painting a masterpiece with spices and herbs.
Unilingual hostess at the front desk.

I recently stayed at Riad Sesame for a few nights and had an amazing experience. The riad was spotlessly clean and located in a convenient yet peaceful area. I loved that it was close to the busy streets of the Medina but still provided a serene and quiet atmosphere. The friendly and hospitable woman who took care of us made our stay even more enjoyable. The room was spacious, the breakfast was delicious, and the value for money was exceptional. I also had the opportunity to meet some wonderful people during my stay. I would definitely return without hesitation.
Would recommend this hotel.

The Riad is beautiful and spotlessly clean. The staff is very nice and efficient, catering for every wish and willingly providing useful info and tips regarding the visit to Marrakech. It is just a 10 min simple walk to Jema el Fna and yet the riad is an oasis of quietness and relaxed atmosphere. Right next to the riad there is a fantastic and fancy Haman, wish is also highly recommended. Therefore, great location, great chioce. I certainly recommend it without any reservation.

Malika, the manageress (owner?), was very friendly and went out of her way to tell us about the city and surrounding areas. Felt comfy and safe throughout. All of the rid is very tastefully designed...just like you'd imagine a place out of 1001 nights.
Actually, everything was perfect. By the way, the pancakes at breakfast were simply delicious!

Had a great time lounging in the riad's salon, free WiFi and parking were a plus. The activities offered were soooo exciting! Like a picnic area.wow!
The only downside was the absence of a roller coaster in the riad. Just kidding, everything was perfect!

Delicious Moroccan Dishes: My taste buds were taken on a delightful journey as I savored the fresh and flavorsome Moroccan dishes prepared with locally sourced ingredients. Each bite was like a burst of authentic Moroccan culture, leaving me wanting more.
Limited English Communication: The lovely hostess at the riad may not be fluent in English, but her genuine warmth and hospitality more than make up for it. A little effort from my side and her kindness shone through, making the language barrier a minor and acceptable issue.

The manager was helpful, arranging a doctor when I was sick and coming to pick me up when I got lost. Basic communication was possible with Google Translate. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, despite the occasional cockroach. Great host, clean room, delicious breakfast, and a good location near shops and restaurants.

Great location, 10 minutes to the main square. Very clean, nice staff and good breakfast.
It was difficult to find, since walking through the medina is like entering a maze, but the hotel near to the city center and most of the tourist attractions.

Loved chilling in the Riad's lounge, great location near a lively square. Enjoyed free WiFi and parking. The hotel even offered leisure activities. Absolutely fantastic, just wish there were more reviews in English.

The breakfast was amazing, traditional dishes and can be eaten in the terrace, a beautiful place with great architecture. The lady who runs the hotel is very receptive and tries her best to speak English and help the guests with suggestions of which places to visit. It is located a 15min walk to the main square and very close to an amazing hammam, surely a must go place in Marrakesh. Riad Sesame is very small and traditional, nice to get a feeling of the Moroccan culture.
We had reserved especifically Camelia Suite, with 2 beds (twin room). We were given a double room and had to share the bed, and didn't have the possibility of changing into the suite we had initially reserved for the first 2 nights. The Riad is in a little alley, seemed a bit dangerous at night, but I guess that is what most Riads in the Medina are like.

The breakfast was amazing, with a really good service and typical food of the city. Next to the hotel is a really nice and traditional spa.
Was a little difficult to get there, because is in a little street.

Enjoyed a weekend in vibrant Morocco, staying in a charming hotel that exuded traditional local living. Rooms were cozy and clean, with all facilities provided. The staff were helpful and welcoming, serving continental breakfast that served as a great start for the day. We were able to enjoy a relaxing time in the cool and peaceful central courtyard.
The hotel was a bit hard to locate initially, but we managed to get a taxi driver to guide us. Not very close to the city center, but a 20-minute walk gets you there.
